The Arizona State Sun Devils are set to meet Ole Miss in Game 6 of the Lincoln Regional of the 2026 NCAA Baseball Tournament, a contest that will determine which team advances to the next round.
A Battle for Survival
The showdown is scheduled for 5 p.m. Mountain Standard Time on Sunday, May 31, which translates to 8 p.m. Eastern, and will take place at Hawks Field at Haymarket Park in Lincoln, Nebraska.
For Arizona State, anything less than a victory means elimination; the team must win to force a deciding Game 7 on Monday, while Ole Miss can clinch the regional with a win tonight.
The game will not be televised, leaving fans reliant on ESPN+ for live streaming, a limitation that underscores the growing role of digital platforms in college sports coverage.
Hawks Field at Haymarket Park provides an intimate setting that amplifies the pressure on both squads as the crowd watches the decisive moments unfold.
